Real Madrid to make massive U-turn? Club considering changing plans for Toni Kroos and Luka Modric after Carlo Ancelotti demand

According to The Athletic, Los Blancos are now considering the possibility of extending the contracts of both Kroos and Modric. Both players' deals will expire on June 30 and given their combined age of 72, it was assumed the two midfielders would be moving on from the Bernabeu Stadium.

However, following the success of the club this season after securing the league title in Spain and progressing to the Champions League final, the club is now exploring the possibility of keeping both players.

Modric, 39, was the favourite to leave the Spanish giants this summer after seeing his role reduced within the side throughout the current campaign. Meanwhile, Madrid are eager to keep Kroos at the club for as long as he feels he can compete at the highest level.

Carlo Ancelotti wants both players to stay due to the competitiveness and culture they provide for their teammates. He also believes they have performed well throughout the current campaign.

"The club is not anxious, I'm not anxious and Toni is not anxious," he said regarding the futures of his players. "Our target is 1 June and that is a secondary issue. After that, the parties involved will have to talk about it. We are all thinking only about one thing - winning the Champions League."

As previously noted, the team will focus on securing the Champions League for the 15th time in the club's history. Madrid will face German side Borussia Dortmund in the final on June 1 - as Jude Bellingham looks to secure victory over his former teammates.
